Comment

'The Woodman Diary' Postgraduate Project The Woodman Diary is a digital edition of the World War I diary of Albert 'Bert' Woodman, an Irishman of Anglo-Protestant descent who served as a telegrapher and signaler in the 'L' Signal Company of the Royal Engineers. From January to November of 1918, Bert faithfully and carefully recounted his experiences as a soldier stationed in Dunkirk, France. Supplemented with historical background and context, this digital edition of The Woodman Diary offers a fascinating first-person account of life on the Western Front in the last months of the First World War. The Woodman Diary digital edition was created by postgraduate students enrolled in the Digital Scholarly Editing module at Maynooth University.

Course fee

In general, there are two levels of fees payable. EU students from EU countries including Ireland pay a subsidised level of fees for both taught courses and research programmes. Tuition fees for students from outside the EU are not subsidised and are thus somewhat higher than for EU students.
